Sunday Competition - Fleurieu Results

12/07/15:   Fleurieu

Ten hardy souls braved the forecast arctic, wet and blowy conditions.   There were only a couple of very brief sprinkles of rain but the moderate/strong breeze, multiple layers of clothes and damp course made good scores difficult.   Except, of course, for Ross.

Ross played a blinder, scoring 35 points in a round that was really worth about 40 points. It included a penalty on the par 5 seventh after his magnificent drive into the teeth of the breeze.  Unfortunately, it was hit from the ''yellows" about 2 metres ahead of the "whites".  Like the mushroom issue a few weeks ago, R&A rules were scrupulously applied (blame Bronte !!!).

Several really talented golfers tied for second on 26 points.  Quite a few others dreamed of 26 points.

Long drive:     Townsend
NTP:               Pring.     Somewhat surprisingly, Paul Crathern's magnificent tee shot to within 10 feet of the flag was followed by 4 putts for double bogey.  

Birdies:   
Ross:     Par 3 fifth

Teams:   The White/Mensforth pairing snuck in over Milde/Pring.  Bronte's shoulders now require physiotherapy. 

A special mention for Bronte yet again winning the Victor comp ("square" in the par competition on a freezing cold Saturday)
